    <!>a)      A.) <!>To have separate colors based on a threshold

    value, you will have to create a state definition, which can be found under

    Visualizations on the Thingworx Explorer. You can then assign this to the rows or

    columns in your grid from the mashup, or assign them to both. For more

    information on this, please refer to the Grid widget section (04.04.03.14 ) in

    the Wiki documentation where you will find more details on configuring grids. <!>b)      B.) <!>Unfortunately, navigating to a mashup from

    selected columns can’t be done with the grid widget alone, but there are other

    ways of accomplishing this in a similar fashion. You can use navigation widgets

    in the header of a layout and a repeater widget to do this.<!>c)       C:) <!>There are various ways to populate the grid with

    dummy data, and this would be determined By the way in which the data will be

    used. A little more information about your use case would help to determine the

    best way.  Will this be time series data

    or typical database storage?

    Thank you that information. Just for clarification, are you interested in just clicking on the column headings to navigate to a particular mashup or are you navigating to a mashup based on a particular column entry?

    Hi Thomas,

    Now that I fully understand your use case, the method I suggested earlier isn't feasible.This functionality isn't incorporated into Thingworx for the time being. I'll bring this up to our development team, and if this changes in the future, I can notify you. As for populating the table with dummy values, you can create a service that populates a DataTable using for loop. More information on DataTables can be found in the wiki at 03.14.01.


    Thanks,

    Saeed
